All clinical providers rendering oral health treatment services must have all appropriate and active licenses issued by the appropriate licensing authority to provide treatment to OrMOM patients. If you're licensed in a state other than Oregon, the Oregon Board of Dentistry now provides temporary volunteer licenses to dentists and dental hygienists. Complete and return this form to the Oregon Board of Dentistry at least 10 days before you are scheduled to volunteer.
The minimum age for volunteers is 16. If you are under 18 and would like to volunteer, please have your parent or guardian sign this waiver and return it to the ODA.
All other volunteers must agree to a cursory background check to volunteer for the OrMOM project. Please read the Oregon Mission of Mercy Volunteer Services Agreement before completing your volunteer registration.
In general, most OrMOM positions will follow the schedule below. Some areas will require that volunteers coming in earlier or later. You can see 2011 department times here. These may change as we continue to plan for and figure out the logistics of the 2013 clinic.
- Sunday, November 24, 10 am - 5 pm: Clinic Set Up (no patients)
- Monday & Tuesday, November 25 & 26, 6 am - 6 pm: Dental Clinic (patients)
- Tuesday, November 26, 5 - 9 pm: Clinic Tear Down (no patients)
- Wednesday, November 27 (as needed), 8 am - 12 pm: Clinic Tear Down (no patients)
OrMOM will reserve a room block at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland (1000 NE Multnomah). Rate and room block information will be available in the spring of 2013.
In order to make sure that all of our clinic volunteers understand what to expect and how to help make OrMOM a success, we need for each of you to attend a volunteer information session. Times and information will be posted when they are available. If you are only volunteering for set-up on Sunday and/or tear-down on Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning, then you do not need to attend orientation. You will be oriented at the beginning of your shift.
